                                    Brief Answer:
It is a skin issue
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is a skin related issue and definitely an examination of the patch is required to conclude a reason. They are many conditions where the penis has patches and they spread. I suggest you consult a dermatologist immediately as the problem is more than a month and it is spreading. There are number of people like you who have commonly complain these symptoms get them easily treated. A specialist dermatologist are trained to treat such issues. You should not be embarrassed to XXXXXXX 
A photograph may not be ideal in your case.
Thank you.
